[OLR]

Gutting about car though

 

[Saner]

 

[ukaskew]

Jeeez!

Was that an oil trail that ignited?

 

[Clart]

can anyone actually drive in that vid?

 

[Aluco]

Hahaha Awesome ! the guy just gets out like "Awww shitt" and then that noob overcooks his oversteer, fail.

Ace vid

I'm thinking they all started sliding on whatever the Clio deposited on track.

 

[Fred@BTM]

burst oil line? i heard sean had a problem with his low booster, wasn't expecting to see that car in the video

 

[J0sh]

LOL. What was the tool in the Corrado doing at the end :S

 

[LegoHead]

did it actually go up in smoke? Just looks like a bit of a leak somewhere that hit the exhaust.

 

[Skinny]

There must be some liquid on track, everyone is sliding about the place.

Shame about the clio.

 

[DIDITNO]

looks like it dropped a load of oil. thats maybe why people are skiding everywhere?. p.s looks like your buggered if you booked a drive in it a fcs

 

[ukaskew]

Seriously, can't you see all the liquid on track? Even the Evo gets a serious wiggle on. The trail of flames is a good clue.

 

[LegoHead]

LOL. What was the tool in the Corrado doing at the end :S

that looked like one of the ktecs guys car.

 

[Daz.]

How much for the conversion?

 

[Gareth]

lol @ everyone getting annoyed at everyone driving through oil, fpmsl

 

[Rojer]

can anyone actually drive in that vid?

Think its all the oil the KTR clio dropped on the track, thats why they are sliding

 

[jamesybear]

oh dear looks bad

 

[LegoHead]

Is that the turbo clio? If the turbo drain came off there will be minimal damage as it would have just squirted a little oil out and the driver stopped quick enough.

I am keen to know what caused it as I am gonna be getting a turbo drain hose kit from them soon...

 

[-KarL-]

its the itb one isnt it?

 

[guysy]

looks like a shitter,

Pretty obvious there sliding because of whats leaked out as some have said.

Hope its an easy fix for the ktec guys.

 

[Chrisjk]

its the itb one isnt it?

I believe so

 

[BenG]

It looks like the KTR Ultimate, the ITB'd one. I love that car !

 

[jim cook]

It took about 30 mins to clean all the oil up.

The Ktr car sounded abit rough the lap before the failier. Had a sequential box in it ?

 

[Chrisjk]

Yeah, Sadev six speed

 

[jim cook]

Yeah, Sadev six speed

Ah i see , it was going well

 

[oz_clio]

LOL at the veedub at the end!

 

[Oldskoolbaby]

I think the chap in the Corrado did pretty damn well in missing the armco. lock to lock!!!

 

[Bluebeard]

can anyone actually drive in that vid?

You are so dumb sometimes.

 

[Christopher.]

ah im going to k-tec 2morrow.

 

[Ryan k]

Oops didnt look good

 

[theduck]

Looks nasty. Wonder what actually went wrong

 

[Bluebeard]

Looks nasty. Wonder what actually went wrong

It was overfuelling all day. (Well, on the 1 or 2 times it went out, it exploded by 10am iirc) Massive flames out the exhaust every gearchange, clouds of black soot high up in the rev range. Sounded like a bag of bolts in a tumble dryer too.

It was f**king quick though.

 

[Brown.]

that video reminds me of that surreal bike convoy crash.....wtf where people doing!!??

 

[stan*]

Looks like he's over-rev'd on the down-shift, and thrown a rod/piston.

 

[Riley!]

s**t the bed. PMSL at the comments about people not being able to drive, the cars obviously spat a load of oil over the track making it mayhem

 

[Bluebeard]

Hitting oil. While cornering.

 

[Ash87]

[Fletcher]

It looks like the KTR Ultimate, the ITB'd one. I love that car !
